Macula hole, macula pucker

I have a macular hole in my left eye and have inquired with Mayo clinic on Dr Iezzi's unique face up recovery procedure. That video was created in 2014 and I can't seem to be able to find any updated information. In addition, the Jacksonville Mayo office only offers the face down recovery procedure.
So I'm curious to know why his unique surgery with his certainly far less intrusive recovery approach not been adopted by the rest of the industry and even within Mayo's network of clinics? Any idea where I might find more information about this?

I have the same question regarding the face up recovery, while researching the surgery for my husband. I have not been able to find any of the Mayo Clinic other than Rochester MN who offer the Vitrectomy procedure without face-down recovery. All research leads back to Dr. Iezzi

I am wondering if you have found any additional helpful info since you made this post.
